It is really interesting seeing the ice dancers tackle Latin rhythms on the ice since I was born dancing to salsa, guaguanco, merengue, rumba, cumbia and the rest. If I tried moving like I do on the floor on the ice, there would be blood everywhere lols.

It's like someone saw Sale/Pelletier's "Love Story" and said "That needs a Latin beat. And vocals. And vampires."

I liked this couple from Uzbekhistan! One of those nice little surprises you get from watching whole comps. Too bad he fell out of a twizzle but they skated close and had good unison, I thought. I even liked their wild flamingo costumes.

Morosov not only used V/M's music this season, he does it for two of his teams? Dude's shameless.

Hip Hip Chin Chin was famously used by ballroom competition team Max Kozhevnikov & Yulia Zagoruychenko for a samba. That's where they all got it from. Long before V/M used it, lesser ballroom teams were already using it.

Lol if I hadn't seen their names on screen, I would have thought that the mexican team was Tessa and Scott from their outfits.

It works. Thanks!

????? It should and has worked for everybody. Plein ecran means full screen. No in between option. I find today's video quality poorer, narrower screen and fuzzier picture when enlarged.

Ooops. I answered you too quickly. You must have edited your post. Anyways, happy for you.

I recognize it's very famous (love Yulia). I just think it's tacky to use it for two teams (and it's Morosov, so I couldn't resist a dig). And since Morosov used not one but two of V/M's pieces, I don't feel as petty as I probably should.

Rhumba music
Not a good first pattern, from a key point standpoint
into the lift, she's a plank over his knee, but with one leg wrapped around his leg
(I like this lift)
Music is a good fit for this
second pattern
seemed a little better

jump into twizzles, sort of done, they don't step or into it in unison.

circular step

35.93

Next 4 teams warming up.
